Kamchung

Kamchung (Korean: 캄정, Kamjeong) was a city built by Goguryeo around 500 CE in present-day Taegwan County, North Korea. It had a very large settlement for civilians as well as military buildings, a university, and a Buddhist temple, before it was destroyed in an invasion by China years later.

History
Kamchung was built in the Dark Ages in 500 CE under Goguryeo, and the city first included a town center. The people expanded the town to a large area of houses to house a civilian population of 200 people, and it later became the location of some collection points such as a lumber mill, mining camp, and an agricultural mill. The town advanced past the Dark Ages to further ages, and it was augmented with new buildings such as a market and blacksmith. Kamchung was built up into a great city of Goguryeo, and it destroyed the Chinese city at Taegwan in 505. The Koreans continued to inhabit the city for several years, and it was later taken down by the Chinese during one of their later invasions of Goguryeo.
